    John Farrar admitted inhabitant of Woburn at town meeting Feb. 1655/56. Thought to have been a brother of Jacob Farrar of Lancaster. Died 11 Jul 1690.
    [If he was the brother of Jacob, he is presumably the John Farrar who signed the Lancaster Covenant in 1653S3. There is a John Farrar who d. Lancaster 3 Nov 1669, but there is reason for thinking it was Jacob's son John and not the signer of the Convenant.]
